Customer Reviews
Delivered quickly and in great condition. They also let us know what prep was needed.
Our 'new' Lemon Scented Myrtle looks fantastic in the middle of our front lawn. I will consult with Brisbane Nursery to ensure that we aren't 'over/under watering' in the early stages of planting. Leaves are 'drooping' a little .. but may be due to windy conditions. Flowers are emerging. I'm very pleased with our choice of tree.
I bought 20 of these, every single one looked amazing. Thanks Josh, for making sure I got the best.
plants were in excellent condition
So far so good.
